From a young age, my goal was to help others, initially aspiring to be a pediatric pulmonologist. This came from an innate desire to help others have a better quality of life.

Then through a series of twists and turns, I earned my B.S. in Pure Mathematics at Kent State University. Then went on to pursue a PhD in Mathematics at the University of California, San Diego. Around the same time, I was getting more active with CrossFit and was dabbling in coaching. In 2013, I made the shift and went all in on coaching and have made it my life’s pursuit to help my clients the best way possible.

Throughout my coaching journey, I’ve always been driven to offer clients with the best results in the most timely and efficient manner. I’ve also been driven to create meaningful change with every opportunity I have. This process led me to Active Life where I could equip myself with the skills to assess and deliver comprehensive solutions to life’s limitations.

As for my personal fitness journey, growing up I was always active in youth sports. In high school I wrestled, played lacrosse and football, and ran cross country. When I began college, fitness took a back seat as I was focused on my studies and with that my health and fitness slid. I found myself rather overweight and unable to live the life I wanted to live. Through nutrition and fitness, I opened up what I was capable of. Along my journey, I experience a low back disc issue which had me on my stomach for 3 months. I rehabbed myself initially to be able to sit down in a chair pain free, then to have the freedom to enjoy San Diego, and eventually qualify for the 2014 CrossFit Games Regionals.

Not only am I passionate about helping others live better lives but I’ve also experienced the journey and have helped countless others along theirs. I bring this experience and expertise to each and every client.
